Correspondence between EQ-5D health state classifications and EQ VAS scores
BACKGROUND The EQ-5D health-related quality of life instrument comprises a health state classification followed by a health evaluation using a visual analogue scale (VAS). The EQ-5D has been employed frequently in economic evaluations, yet the relationship between the two parts of the instrument remains ill-understood. In this paper, we examine the correspondence between VAS scores and health s...
متن کاملDoes the correspondence between EQ-5D health state description and VAS score vary by medical condition?
BACKGROUND The EQ-5D health-related quality of life instrument comprises a health state classification (health problems by severity in five domains), followed by an evaluation using a visual analogue scale (VAS). Despite the EQ-5D's use in health technology assessment and as a patient-reported outcome measure (PROM), the correspondence between the two parts of the instrument remains ill-underst...
متن کاملEstimation of minimally important differences in EQ-5D utility and VAS scores in cancer
BACKGROUND Understanding what constitutes an important difference on a HRQL measure is critical to its interpretation. The aim of this study was to provide a range of estimates of minimally important differences (MIDs) in EQ-5D scores in cancer and to determine if estimates are comparable in lung cancer. METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted on cross-sectional data collected from 534...
متن کاملInterim scoring for the EQ-5D-5L: mapping the EQ-5D-5L to EQ-5D-3L value sets.
BACKGROUND A five-level version of the EuroQol five-dimensional (EQ-5D) descriptive system (EQ-5D-5L) has been developed, but value sets based on preferences directly elicited from representative general population samples are not yet available. The objective of this study was to develop values sets for the EQ-5D-5L by means of a mapping ("crosswalk") approach to the currently available three-l...
متن کاملEstimating EQ-5D and OAB-5D health state utilities for patients with overactive bladder
BACKGROUND Limited utility data on patients suffering from overactive bladder (OAB) are available in the literature. The objectives of this study were to estimate utility values in patients with OAB using the generic EQ-5D questionnaire and the OAB-5D disease specific questionnaire, to investigate the relationship between utilities and symptoms, and to evaluate the sensitivity of the two instru...
